Top ten for Arndale Market

Manchester’s Arndale Market has been named one of the UK’s top ten markets by The Guardian travel guide.

The Arndale Market joins markets in London, Bristol and Belfast as among the best in the UK according to the review on http://www.guardian.co.uk/, which describes the Arndale Market as 'the millennial take on the traditional market'.

High quality retail outlets offering designer and budget savvy fashion sit alongside a magnificent food hall, which offers international foods such as Jamaican, Greek, Brazilian, Chinese and Indian, where busy shoppers and visitors can relax and watch the world go by.

Food lovers will also be in seventh heaven with the vast choice of fresh produce on offer including meat, fish, fruit and veg, which are all locally sourced from around the region.

Councillor Paul Andrews, Manchester City Council's executive member for neighbourhood services said: "It's great to see the Arndale Market make the Guardian's top ten list. It's contemporary in both feel and layout and welcomes thousands of visitors every day. The market is a real asset to the city centre and we're extremely proud of it."

Nail bars, hairdressers, shoe and clothing repairs, beauty products, electrical and household goods, textiles, gifts, cards, jewellery, accessories, mobile phones and a florist are among the wide variety of stalls offered at the Arndale Market.

The market is open Monday to Saturday 9am until 6pm and Sunday 11am until 5pm.

It is located on High Street in Manchester city centre and is accessible from the Wintergarden area of the Manchester Arndale.
